House of the Day: 390 Dean Street

This new listing at 390 Dean Street between 4th and 5th Avenues has some original detail to recommend it but it’s definitely not on a par with some other finished houses that are priced within range of this place’s $2,295,000 asking price. The kitchens, in particular, aren’t what you’d hope to see. Combined with the location, we’d say this place is a little overpriced but in the right hands could be a very sweet house.390 Dean Street [Sotheby’s] GMAPP*Shark

Usually the kitchen is on the parlor floor but here it’s on the third floor. The kitchen shares a floor with the dining room, surely you could find a way to use some of that space as a living room as well.

Someone’s just testing the market, given the astronomical prices we’ve been seeing recently. This needs a lot of work, and a serious price cut. But Prop Shark shows the owners paid $1.7 for it in 2007, which is about what it’s worth now, given the extensive renovation that would be required.

Wow, listen up Mh330…People purchase what can fit their budget. This is not my place, but I do have something sImilar. I also have a wife, a baby, and a mortgage. As well a host other bills. I am grateful Ikea offers me an affordable option for decorating. It’s really in poor taste for you to make a snarky comment about what they furnished their house with when you don’t know the full story of their situation.
